the Code-Point Open is a postal geography dataset that features a set of geographically referenced points that represent each of the 1.7 million postcode units in Great Britain. The centre of the postcode unit is derived from the precise coordinates of addresses sharing the same postcode unit in Ordnance Survey’s large-scale address database.

we can use geohashs to split and sort the data for easy selection. If the osm data is split into a directory structure based on its geohash then it would be easier to select data based on its location without a database server needed. such a split dataset could be hosted on a simple ftp file server.

you could post the basic data about an osm changeset using a short bounding box the basic data in it and a link to the data in twitter and then aggregate the data. this could use a geohash or something similar to easily select the area.

the changesets basic data could be broadcast in an irc channel with a special syntax to describe what area is affected, what the contents are, what conflicts occur and a link to the data. this could be subscribed by simple filtering on the channel.

for remote places, with bad internet connections, we want to have the main server to be local to the users in the internet. Some users might find that the server in london is slow. they will want simple tools to setup and host a local cache and CPU pool that is used in the larger OSM scheme.

We want to be able to integrate photomaps from services like picasa, twitter, flickr and panoramia, wikipedia. we want to be able to make layers from photos and also be able to convert some to nodes. we want to be able to publish them again annotated back to other systems (tag them in flickr based on osm data)
